Was that the Chandler that most of you guys want to drop?

Incredible!

 

Mark Murphy's votes on abc radio were

3 Rivers 

2 JVR

1 Windsor 

The kids are alright

Loved what I saw from the young kids. Kolt, Windsor and Roo fantastic. 

Last quarter without Max was always going to be a battle. Anyone know what’s wrong with him? 

He had a sneezing fit and so, deserved a rest. He dominated the ruck duels and the occasional follow-up, but when he drifted upfield or downfield, he frightened the Weagles into desperate patterns.

 

Enjoyed that, future looks good with our youth, shame JVR missed a couple of easy set shots but all in all a very positive day. Can see the want to take the game on and better ball movement slowly coming together now

Chandler was very serviceable. What great ground coverage to advantage.


Reid is clearly going to be an amazing player, but his attitude and arrogance is pretty poor. 

We are starting to look good again and have our energy and pressure game back.

Great bunch of talented kids and forward line is taking shape and looks better just with Melkys presence.

JVR is the one.

Anything can happen from here , but geez I’d love to have Trac back.

 

Just to prove I don’t only whinge when we lose :  that insufficient intent given against the WCE player who belted the ball forward was absolutely stupid. He was clearly trying to get it to 2 teammates all on their own 30m away.   Came off his fist slightly off and went 20m and went out. Good grief

 

Loved our defensive intent and much of our intent around the ball. I felt the eagles ran it through the middle too easily at times, and I noticed that some of the new younger boys like AMW, Kolt, and Turner were sometimes slow to respond from a turnover.

Love these new younger players being given a run. Windsor and Kolt earning their place and repeatedly looking AFL ready.

Kozzie finally holds a speccy, the Roo dominating the air, The Milkshake is back and his class immediately evident. 

More than happy with that win.

Would’ve been nice to claw back a bit more percentage but no complaints - we smashed them. It was a game dominated by youth - Rivers and van Rooyen in particular as best players. Despite the disappointing season this list has a lot of upside, and this season isn’t over yet.

Just need a very smart and good recruiting in the offseason, couple of players for our midfield and draft some depth for our fwd line.

Starting to look like he belongs with Stringer at Essendon or DeGoey at the Filth.

What happened between him and Gawn?

Forwards provided leads 😁😁

Forwards sought out space and overlaps 😁😁

Backs dispersed for clearances 😁😁

Set shot shooters generally increased their run-up delivery distances 😁😁

The wisdom of Demonland persistence to demand youth exposure to the team worked profitably 😁😁

Great outcomes that stunned the Weagles.

He was getting stuck into Kolt and Gawn wasn’t having it. 

Needs to actually achieve something before he goes off half cocked at everyone. Very uncool behavior from a first year player.

That’s the kind of act the AFL should be doing everything in its power to encourage. Creative and chaotic. An Eagles player could have run onto that and kicked goal of the year and everyone would be lauding Liam Ryan for his creativity.

Umpires don’t need to be forcing players to be robotic. Nobody wins then.


Koltyn has great energy and really needs to stay in the side, he was terrific today.

Yep and it's not the first time 

They're a fair way off a great team , but they are running out of spuds for you guys to bag

Probably he can walk the talk  and don't argue with the critics.

He may mature and get a lot better don't you think?

Eagle chicks are ugly, scrawny, lice-ridden, snotty, greasey, windblown and smelly. Even they grow up to be very close to perfection. We still have a way to go; it just happens that we are closer to that eventual point than the WCE...

Of course he may mature and get better, but he has coaches and teammates who should tell him to stay humble and focused. 
If he was a Melbourne player our fans would be picking on his attitude, as would the media. 

There’s no doubt he’s a very talented player, but football is a team game and when your team is getting pantsed, you need to put your head down and do the work. Not go around arguing with umpires and picking fights.

Are the West Australian going to put chandlers mark over Harley on the back page?

Surely everyone will put Kossi's

The first in 20 attempts as Melksham said

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
